We know that an operator A in quantum mechanics has time evolution given by Heisenberg equation:
iℏ[H,A]+∂A∂t=dAdt
Can we derive from this that A(t)=eiℏHtA(0)e−iℏHt?
L.M.: I added i/ℏ in front of [H,A].
Answer
We have to consider the operator, that doesn't explicitly depends on time.
∂A∂t=0
Let's apply commutator formula recursively:
d2Adt2=(iℏ)2[H,[H,A]]
d3Adt3=(iℏ)3[H,[H,[H,A]]]
e.t.c.
Then we combine those derivatives in a series for A(t)
A(t)=A(0)+dAdtt+12!d2Adt2t2+13!d3Adt3t3+...
A(t)=A(0)+iℏ[H,A]t+12!(iℏ)2[H,[H,A]]t2+13!(iℏ)3[H,[H,[H,A]]]t3+...
And then you use this formula to arrive at the result:
eXYe−X=Y+11![X,Y]+12![X,[X,Y]]+13![X,[X,[X,Y]]]+...
